Durban is home to a number of great restaurants, many of which also have fantastic sea views
As the holiday season attracts many visitors to our sandy beaches, there is no better way to end off a day spent in the sun than with indulgent delights at some of the finest beachfront restaurants in the country. Durban has a few to choose from.
Havanna Grill Suncoast
If you are looking to splash out, go to Havanna Grill at Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World, located along Durban’s ‘Golden Mile’. This upmarket restaurant overlooks the Suncoast beach and gives restaurant goers 180° views from the Bluff to Umhlanga. Some of the popular meals from Havanna Grill include the deconstructed prawn samosa starter, and the tasty deboned pork ribs. The service is top-notch and professional, with special attention given to wine pairings and even cigars.
Surf Riders Food Shack
Looking for something chilled and relaxed, where there is always a great vibe and friendly service? Surf Riders offers just that. This surf shack on Addington Beach is the epitome of the Durban laid-back style, and it’s dog-friendly! There are cocktails, craft beers and award-winning wines. However, what draws the crowds is the simple yet great fresh food. The wood-fired pizzas and the range of burgers made from 100% free-range and hormone-free meat are popular.
California Dreaming
The lounge of California Dreaming is pristine and elegant, while the terrace offers a more relaxed atmosphere. The bar offers signature dishes, while the menu gives guests the luxury of choice between breakfast, lunch or dinner. Being a Durban restaurant, it offers a tasty bunny chow that is full to the brim and dripping with gravy. The restaurant’s specialty is seafood, and those looking for a tasty dish can order the California Platter which has grilled kingklip, mussels, prawns, calamari, chips and salad. This is an ideal spot to have a company Christmas lunch, a business meeting or impress your out-of-town visitors.
